Abstract

Synthetic techniques, geometrical structures, and electronic absorption spectra of phosphine-coordinated pure-gold molecular clusters (PGCs) accumulated over 40 years are comprehensively collected especially for those with unambiguous X-ray crystal structures available. Inspection of the electronic absorption spectra from geometrical aspects reveals that their optical properties are highly dependent on the cluster geometries rather than the nuclearity. Recent examples of unusual clusters that show unique color/photoluminescence properties and their utilization for stimuli-responsive modules are also presented.
